Our AppStack solution enables service providers and enterprise customers to move and manage complex cloud applications throughout their life cycle. That means we have deep first-hand knowledge of a wide variety of public and private clouds, as well as cloud orchestration platforms. After working closely with AIS to thoroughly test and implement our software and exhaustively stress-test AIS BusinessCloud1, our team at Appcara is quite impressed with the service. It is indeed a viable, enterprise-…John Yung, founder and CEOAppcara
As Infinitely Virtual continues to grow, we make massive investments into our hosting infrastructure. The addition of our secondary facility into the AIS Lightwave Data Center, with its multi-gigabit connectivity to its space inside the Los Angeles One Wilshire Data Center, will enable us to accommodate our intense growth and accelerate the release of new products and services.Adam Stern, CEO and presidentInfinitely Virtual and Altay Corp
AIS provided the highest quality network in the area and colocation space with more than enough power to meet our requirements. I have used AIS services in some form or shape over the last 15 years, and not once have I ever regretted that!Joseph Manis, ownerCaliHop
By housing additional infrastructure in the AIS Phoenix data center, many of our fast-growing customers demands for services that require multiple facilities can finally be answered. We also needed additional colocation space, and we chose to continue growing with our trusted partner AIS by securing the additional footprint in Phoenix.Scheron Briones, vice president, engineeringColor Broadband
We had reached a critical point with our IT infrastructure where we had to make a decision on expanding our current facility or partnering with an enterprise-level data center. We were impressed with the Lightwave facility, the policies and procedures AIS has in place, like its ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) service architecture, and its knowledgeable staff. We feel AIS has mapped out a solid solution that can expand to meet our future business needs.Chris Rousseau, SVP global information technologyCallaway Golf
The company had grown to the point where we began to look for a new headquarters. At the same time, we were seriously considering whether to continue owning our own data center or to partner with a leading industry partner and further strengthen our already best-in-class hosting services. AIS proposed an ideal solution for us right here in our back yard with the connectivity, flexible power and security we needed, plus we’d be able to maintain the control of the data center as though it were i…Erez Nir, CTOMitchell International
Besides our native hot standby resiliency, our enterprise customers value the geographic redundancy we provide with AIS data centers in San Diego and Phoenix. We over-engineer to handle peak traffic and have the ability to offer business continuity with redundant databases and load balancing between sites. The bottom line is we are operating with the fault tolerance of a world class service provider, which is an important consideration for the Fortune 500 enterprises we are working with.Lance Fried, CEOHold-Free Networks
Our customers have been looking for ways to smoothly and cost-effectively migrate to the cloud without the burden and costs associated with implementation. With our BusinessCloud1 service, customers can gain immediate access to and deploy cloud resources that have been built to the highest standards of performance and availability, at an extremely affordable price point.Tim Caulfield, CEOAIS
Since day one, we’ve been impressed with the Lightwave facility along with the quality of expertise and support we received from AIS.
